Company Review

Trend Analysis

Based on the data provided, VOW EUROPE LIMITED has shown a general trend of decreasing the average time taken to pay invoices to suppliers over the past three periods. In 2018, the average time to pay was 64 days, which decreased to 54 days in 2020. However, there was a slight increase in 2021 to 64 days, but it decreased again in 2022 to 68 days. The trend seems to indicate that the company is working towards paying invoices earlier, with a few fluctuations in certain periods.

However, this percentage decreased in 2020 to 57%, and then again in 2021 to 55%. This could indicate that the company is making efforts to improve their payment process and pay invoices on time.
